Default Poor memory disadvantages?

Absent mindedness covers extreme ADD but what about other memory or focus related disadvantages? Are there any sjgames documented disadvantages that apply penalties to just memory rolls?

Putting five points into Memory Palace means you’ve acquired Eidetic Memory!
Anyone can roll IQ roll for sketchy memories, or IQ -5 to recall specific facts.

Given that a +1 to IQ rolls for memory is [1/level], -1 to to memory rolls might be [-1/level]
